Getting your submission ready

1. Fill in all the details and write a clear description

When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, e.g. title of the artwork, technique, size (in cm or inches), year of creation, edition information (original or part of a series), etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand.

Please also use the object description field to share:

• Artist’s biography, notable exhibitions or education

• If the artwork was partially or fully generated using AI, this must be stated clearly, along with the software used

• What is included/not included (e.g. packaging, accessories)
• If the object has any flaws
• Shipping method (e.g. framed, rolled, insured)
• Import/export details if applicable

Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description. 

📌 Examples of a well-written description:

• Example #1:

“Collection 2025

"Ink" is a visual whisper, an ode to the body as canvas and to the mark as language, capturing the harmony between skin and tattoo, and transforming the curve of the back into a pathway of graphics that tell stories without words. In this essential and intense composition, light dances across the lines of the design and the protruding bones, evoking strength and delicacy at once. "Ink" is not just a portrait; it is a meditation on the beauty of transformation and the art of marking what lies beneath the skin.

Signed by Ivan Pili, master of contemporary figurative art, this painting is part of the most evocative vein of his work, celebrated at international events such as Art Basel Miami, Art Monaco, Artexpo New York, the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, and the Venice and Barcelona Biennials. Found in private collections across Europe, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, Ivan Pili reaffirms with "Ink" his ability to turn skin into poetry—conveying, with delicacy and lyricism, the magic that is born when form meets mark.

The painting is ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Please note that the colors in the images may differ slightly due to varying lighting conditions during photography and camera characteristics.

The artwork will be carefully protected and shipped in an elegant and sturdy package, made of extruded polystyrene to ensure maximum safety and lightweight transport.

For purchases outside the EU, shipping will be carried out within 10 working days of receipt of payment, taking into account any bureaucratic processing times”.

• Example #2:

“Edition: handmade unique piece

Technique: painted without a brush, colors were applied directly with the hand.

Acrylic paints in studio quality on unprimed canvas (cotton 370 g/m²)

Canvas size: approximately 165 cm x 135 cm

Dimensions of the suitable stretcher frame: 150 cm x 120 cm x 2-4.5 cm

Signature: signed and dated on the back

Packaging: rolled and securely packaged in a sturdy tube.

Shipping: with transport insurance and tracking number, artworks over 500 EUR will be sent as express delivery upon request (worldwide delivery within 2-4 days)

The artwork is sold without a stretcher frame and without a shadow gap frame.

The painting was created using a special and unusual technique. The artist does not use brushes for his art but applies the acrylic paint directly onto the canvas with his hands. The paint is poured very thinly onto a untreated cotton fabric and massaged into the fabric. As a result, the paint penetrates deeply into the fabric, and no brush strokes are visible. The artist repeats this process several times. The paintings consist of up to ten layers of paint. This creates very delicate color transitions and nuances that are unfortunately difficult to reproduce accurately in photographs.

Please note:

- Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.

For buyers outside the EU, additional duties and fees may apply.

- Some of the images are photomontages and are for illustrative purposes. The proportions do not always correspond exactly to reality”.

2. Dimensions: be specific

To avoid confusion about artwork sizes, please specify all measurements clearly. Ensure your photos clearly reflect the measurements stated above (for example, frame depth or border visibility). 

3.  Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including 5 high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.

Your photos should include:

• The complete artwork
• Signature
• Details and textures
• Back side (especially for canvas works)
• Any damage or restoration

Additional images:

• Artist portraits
• Studio views
• Mockups
• Creative process
• Media articles

Tip: Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.

📌 Examples of good vs. bad photos:

• Good photos show the artwork from multiple angles in clear lighting, highlighting texture, quality, and details — including the back if signed.

• Poor photos have bad lighting, distracting surroundings, and lack close-ups or varied views of the artwork. 

4. Condition: describe honestly and in detail

Provide an accurate description of the artwork’s current state. Mention even minor imperfections so buyers know what to expect.

Please include:

• Surface characteristics (texture, craquelure, paint strokes, or paper waviness)
• Color tone variations (e.g., due to lighting or ageing)
• Any restorations, repairs, or varnishing done
• Type of edges (deckled, cut, irregular)
• Signature position and medium (front/back, pencil/paint)
• For prints: whether the ink or paper shows fading, foxing, or discoloration
  
  

Ensure the description matches visible details in the photographs. If restoration, fading, or discolouration is visible, mention it explicitly to prevent post-sale disputes.

Use this checklist before submitting: mention all visible imperfections (craquelure, foxing, tears, fading, scratches, repairs, or restorations) and make sure each appears clearly in at least one photo.

Tip: Add a close-up photo of texture and of any flaw or mark you mention. This prevents post-sale condition misunderstandings.

5. Edition and authenticity: provide complete information

To ensure buyers can trust editioned and printed works, please include all relevant information about the edition and printing process.

For all limited editions or prints, specify:

• Edition size (e.g., “3/25”)
• Printing or reproduction technique (e.g., “etching,” “lithograph,” “giclée print”, “AI print on canvas”)
• Signature and numbering details (e.g., “signed lower right in pencil”)
• Certificate of Authenticity with issuer, date, and, if applicable, archive or catalogue reference

Edition verification:

• For numbered editions, upload close-up photos showing both the signature and edition number.

Tip: Photograph all relevant documentation and close-ups of the signature and edition number.
